Toma
Founding Product Designer
Join Toma, a YC W24 AI platform for underserved industries, as a Founding Product Designer. We’re building the future of human‑AI interactions, starting in the automotive industry. This role is in‑person at our SF office, 5 days a week.
About the company We recently raised a $17M Series A from a16z and are partnering with leaders from Scale AI, Uber, Braze, Microsoft, Amazon and more to create a customer‑centric platform for deploying and monitoring AI agents.
About This Role We’re looking for a Founding Product Designer who can set the design vision, lead execution, and build the entire design function from scratch. This is a rare opportunity to own end‑to‑end product design in a fast‑moving, high‑impact startup.
What You Will Do
Own the product design lifecycle: research, wireframes, prototypes, high‑fidelity UI, and production‑ready assets.
Stand up our design system in Figma and establish best practices for scale.
Shape user journeys end‑to‑end, from first‑touch onboarding to power‑user workflows.
Define and champion design culture, processes, and tools across the company.
Collaborate cross‑functionally with product and engineering to ship beautiful, intuitive features quickly.
Evolve our brand identity and visual language alongside product design.
Recruit and mentor future designers as the team grows.
Preferred Qualifications
4+ years of experience designing digital products, with startup or high‑growth company experience strongly preferred.
Mastery of Figma—fast, component‑driven, and knowledgeable of auto‑layout and libraries.
A portfolio that demonstrates end‑to‑end design thinking.
Strong visual design craft combined with pragmatic UX instincts.
Ability to operate autonomously in ambiguity and ship quickly without sacrificing quality.
Passion for creating elegant user experiences in complex problem spaces.
Excellent communication skills—clear, persuasive storytelling of design decisions.
Bonus Points
Experience building the design function at an early‑stage startup.
Interest in AI, automation, or tools that redefine how people work.
Comfort collaborating with engineers on implementation details.
Motion design, illustration, or branding chops.
Benefits
Competitive salary with meaningful equity.
Free health, dental, and vision insurance.
Free in‑office lunch and dinners.
Unlimited PTO.
Compensation Base pay range: $180 K – $240 K per year.
